A+ SCHOOLS PROGRAM

 

All students in grades 9-12 are encouraged to inquire about the A+ Program in order for the student to begin the path to eligibility.  During their freshman year, students are given an A+ Handbook and agreement to take home and have parents look over and sign.  If you have not seen this, ask your student to come see me and I will send another one home with them.  Students can sign up for the program until the end of 1st semester of their senior year.  If you have any questions about the A+ Program at Brashear High School, please contact me at 660-323-5272 ext. 15 or by email at cheryl_reeves@brashear.k12.mo.us.
